Doctoral student in Biology (Invertebrate colour vision) Lund University in Sweden

Lund University invites applications for a doctoral project on the evolution of colour vision in marine invertebrates. The PhD researcher will investigate whether the firefly squid, a cephalopod, and the alciopid worm, an annelid, have independently evolved colour vision despite living in deep-water, night-time environments. The project will examine how colour vision influences behaviour and whether these species use visual processing circuits and principles comparable to those found in arthropo...

Postdoctoral Position in Novel Ion-Channel Engineering at Linköping University, Sweden . The post is in Prof. Antonios Pantazis’ Group, Division of Cell and Neurobiology, Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences. The project focuses on novel ion-channel engineering, with strong relevance to ion-channel electrophysiology, molecular cloning, and mechanistic ion-channel research. Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD awarded within the last three years. The announcement also as...

Postdoc in novel ion-channel engineering at Linköping University, Sweden . This postdoctoral position is in the Pantazis group and sits at the interface of ion-channel biophysics , protein engineering , electrophysiology , molecular biology , computational modeling , and cellular excitability . The project aims to engineer novel voltage-gated ion channels to create new ways of tuning cell electrical activity, with applications in neurobiology and cardiac electrophysiology . The successful candid...

PhD opportunity in Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Behavioural Biology at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (Cambridge, United Kingdom). This project, supervised by Dr W Schafer, focuses on neuropeptide networks and how “wireless” neuronal communication shapes behaviour. The first part uses C. elegans to study neuropeptide signaling in feeding circuits, including how peptides and receptors related to human hypothalamic appetite pathways regulate feeding and starva...

Postdoc in ion channel physiology at Linköping University, Sweden . This postdoctoral position is based in the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences , Division of Cell- and Neurobiology, in the research group of Sara Liin . The project focuses on ion channel physiology , electrophysiology , ion channel pharmacology , and the regulation of electrical excitability in healthy and disease states. The research aims to understand endogenous regulation of ion channels, posttranslational modifi...
